Frequently Asked Questions
What is a visa?
A visa is an official endorsement, stamp, or label placed in your passport that grants you permission to enter, exit, or remain in a specific country for a defined period. At Saudi and Gulf Visa Services (SVGS), we assist in obtaining the right visa for your travel needs, ensuring your documentation is accurate and valid for your destination.
Where can I obtain a visa?
Depending on your destination, some countries require you to obtain a visa in advance through their embassy, while others allow you to get one upon arrival at the airport. However, certain countries strictly require a pre-approved visa before departure. This means you must have your visa sorted before booking your flight or traveling.
At Saudi and Gulf Visa Services (SVGS), we simplify the visa process by handling the application on your behalf—eliminating the need for long queues or confusing online procedures. As a trusted and experienced visa agency, we help you secure your travel visa quickly and efficiently for a modest service fee. Most of this fee covers the mandatory charges set by the embassy for issuing the visa.
How long will it take to obtain a visa?
Visa processing times can vary significantly depending on the embassy and the type of service they provide. Some embassies offer a single standard visa service with a fixed processing period, while others—such as the Indian Embassy—provide multiple visa options, each with different timelines. At Saudi and Gulf Visa Services (SVGS), we guide you through the specific requirements of your chosen destination and help you choose the right visa service for faster, hassle-free processing.
How much will a visa cost me?
Visa fees can differ greatly depending on the embassy and the type of service they offer. Some embassies provide only one visa service with a fixed fee, while others—like the Indian Embassy—offer multiple service levels with varying fees based on processing times. At Saudi and Gulf Visa Services (SVGS), we help you understand the available options and ensure you select the most suitable and cost-effective visa service for your travel needs.
I've heard I cannot get a visa for certain countries, is this true?
Visa-on-arrival is only available for a limited number of countries. To find out if your destination qualifies, we recommend visiting the relevant country-specific pages on our Saudi and Gulf Visa Services (SVGS) website, where you’ll find clear, up-to-date guidance. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us directly via email — our team is always ready to help.
What happens if my visa expires?
You will need a new visa. You cannot visit a country with an expired visa. To start the process of obtaining a new visa visit the travel visa page.
Do Saudi and Gulf Visa Services guarantee a successful application/attestation?
At Saudi and Gulf Visa Services (SVGS), we leverage our extensive experience to give your application or attestation the highest possible chance of success. Thanks to our proven track record and attention to detail, rejections are extremely rare. However, it’s important to understand that no agency can guarantee approval. This is because SVGS is not a government authority—we facilitate the process, but the final decision to approve or reject any application or document lies solely with the relevant embassy or official body.
How long after receiving the documents will Saudi and Gulf Visa Services submit my documents?
While processing times may vary depending on the specific service and destination country, Saudi and Gulf Visa Services (SVGS) aims to submit your documents to the relevant authority by the next working day—provided they are received at our office before 7:00 PM.
